Arsenal spent £27M on an 18 y/o CB and waited for him for 3 years. Nothing lucky about that. They got him for less because they moved aggressively for him FIRST. Saka and Foden are both academy products. “Lucky” is having state sponsorship and bribing your way past FFP charges.

Declan Rice is compelling because he could play both the Partey and Xhaka position. And with CL football and likely 55-ish matches on tap next season, there should be 35 starts in all comps for all 3. Vieira remains the Ødegaard deputy, with Smith Rowe an option if needed.
